Get In Shape For Golf
Now when most people think of golf, physical exertion hardly comes to mind. But we all know that a round of 18 holes can really take its toll on the body and the mind. While I am no expert on golf fitness, just looking at how most top professionals train will show you the amount of importance they place on their physical conditioning.
Improving your fitness could potentially help improve your control over the club, your concentration and consistency, your balance plus the power of your swing.

TaylorMade Mens Burner 460 DriversReviewsThese drivers are sold for $149 by taylormade, not sure what TGW is trying to do by listing its estimated price as $399. Why not make it $1000, that way you make customers think that they are saving even more! TGW's prices for other items follow the same trend as well. After having my order canceled, I recommend that shoppers be wary of purchasing golf clubs through Amazon and the golf warehouse. TGW offered their product at a low price to drive up them up the most active selling list and then cancelled the orders without an explanation. A great driver at a great price. Came on time, exactly as pictured and expected. I've been eyeing these for years, and finally got one. OK, so with my 18 handicap, I still have trouble with consistency on the driver, but the fades are less extreme, and I'm actually hitting a slight draw now. Even when I mis-hit, I seem to be in less trouble. great driver! Average Rating: |

TaylorMade Burner Fairway WoodReviewsThis club did not disappoint. I already had the 2007 Burner driver, 3 wood and the 5 wood. I never owned a 7 wood before but as I hoped it is easier for me to hit than a 4 iron. I recently added this taylor fairway wood, along with the TaylorMade Men's Burner 460 Ti Driver. Very happy with both clubs. I've added about 15 yards, have better club speed, and it has proven to have better control of keeping it straight, with added height to my shots. I have owned the 3,5, and 7 woods and the 3 wood is the only one I kept. The Burner St wood is large in head size, and provides assurance for mid to high handicappers. Carpenter steel face has excellent feel at impact. The shaft is 50 grams light to help out the slower swinger, but not good for the high swing speeds. Note there is a built in draw bias, therefore hooks can occur for some players. I found the 5 and 7 woods too large and too light. Not very playable from all turf conditions. But the 3 wood fits my game. For better players, I recommend the TP version. The TP version is smaller sized, neutral biased, and has a heavier shaft. Average Rating: |

TaylorMade continues its long-running standard of excellence with the men's Burner Steel fairway wood. The club is distinguished by the company's SuperFast technology, which reduces the total club weight to promote a faster swing speed and more ball-crushing distance... |
However, I’m guessing that a lot of you really aren’t very interested in starting a full-on fitness program in the hope that it will help your golf game. But here’s just a few simple ways that any player, regardless of their current physical condition, can get in shape for their next round, with really no effort at all.
Strength
Sure you can go to the gym and bulk yourself up to crush the life out of the ball, but that’s not always necessary. If you’re looking to improve your strength specifically for golf, it would be best to stick
with exercises relating to the movements of your swing. Such things as rotational exercises with weights in different positions will only take a few minutes of your time each day, but will improve your core strength as well as your flexibility, balance and control.
Flexibility
It’s one of the main areas people need to work on. There are a range of different stretches that you can do that will help your movement when you swing, but one thing most players ignore is performing a proper warm up. A few light stretches and a couple of swings with a heavy club (or two clubs) will help loosen up your joints and muscles for the round. Doing it often will help keep your golfing muscles loose all of the time.
Endurance
Again there are many ways to improve your endurance, but if you are looking for a quick golf specific solution, you can’t go past walking. I mean it’s what we do for the majority of the time that we are out on the course, and if you can learn to walk longer distances without getting tired then your swing is not going to suffer as much later on in the round.
So even if you don’t want to commit to a serious training program, you can still get in shape for golf, and maybe even improve your game just by performing a few of those simple exercises every now and then.
